Embodiment Construction

[0031]Hereinafter, embodiments of a connector and a connector assembly proposed by the present disclosure will be described. According to the present specification, as an example, a connector assembly and a connector connecting two circuit boards facing each other will be described (the term “circuit board” includes Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) and Flexible Flat Cables (FFC)). According to the present specification, as an example of the connector assembly, a connector assembly 1 will be described. The connector assembly 1 has a first connector 10 and a second connector 70 (refer to FIG. 1).

[0032]According to the following description, the Z1 direction illustrated in FIG. 1 is referred to as the upward direction, while the Z2 direction is referred to as the downward direction. Moreover, the X1 direction and the X2 direction are respectively referred to as the right direction and the left direction, while the Y1 direction and the Y2 direction are respectively referred to as the fro...

Abstract

A through hole is formed in an end wall part of a first housing, and a slider is arranged in this through hole. The slider can be slid in the left-right direction between a locked position at which the slider is engaged with the second connector and an unlocked position at which the slider is separated from the second connector. The slider is a plate-like member arranged such that the thickness direction thereof is oriented in the height direction of the first housing.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to Japanese Application No. 2017-076384, filed Apr. 7, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to a connector and a connector assembly.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Conventionally, a connector is used to connect two circuit boards facing each other (for example, see the following patent documents 1 to 4). A connector attached to one circuit board and another connector attached to the other circuit board are fitted to each other, thereby, connecting the two circuit boards. The height of this kind of connector is being reduced in association with the advancement of miniaturized, slimmer designs of electronic devices.[0004]Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H4-368783[0005]Patent Document 2: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2014-212039[0006]Patent Document 3: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Public...
